Aortic growth is often uncertain and underappreciated when assessed via standard diameter measurements. Three-dimensional growth assessment with VDM offers a more comprehensive assessment of growth, allows for targeted diameter measurements and could be an additional tool to determine which post-surgical patients at high and low risk for future complications.
